"Human mind knows no constraints. Without spending time or money, one can make an odyssey into the outer space and even into other planets. What is needed is the fuel of imagination."  - By Poet



Outside, the night was gathering strength
How swift our lightning Sputnik,
Out running the speed of sound and light 
Shot into space with a violent jerk, leaving us psychotic.


At a distance were luminous spheres
Suspended like glowing lanterns
Comets and meteors in hyper space
Seemed more like diffused patterns


An asteroid came whizzing towards us.
I closed my eyes in dreadful shock,
Fearing a terrible head on collision.
Thank God! It deviated from our track!


I looked at my friend seated beside
Obviously not here, lost in thought!
Looking down, I saw Mother Earth
A luminous ball, not bigger than a sapphire dot


Oh! How quickly we landed on Mars
It is so different from what I had learnt
Neither a barren belt of sterile terrain
Nor a rugged stretch of craters burnt


But a heavenly place so cool and serene
Full of scintillating scenes and ravishing sights
We, the emissaries from a far away land
Were warmly received by a team of alien sprites


The weight of the world suddenly lifted from us
We bounced up and down almost floating in the air
Found ourselves in a gorgeous garden
With springing fountains and blossoms fair


Trees were laden with dazzling gems
Lagoons and lakes of liquid silver
Vast expanse of tawny vistas
Plains waving with luxuriant verdure


What fun…! Hmm…over there,
Nothing like those seen on planet Earth
A herd of animals so strange and rare
Grazing on red grass in a canyon of great width


Our restless eyes scanning all around,
We accelerated our pace in rising delight. 
As we were eager to explore every bit of ground,
We moved forward with enthusiastic gait.


Sudden was the sound I heard behind
And saw my mother standing near 
Puzzled and confused as I looked around
In my ears her voice fell ringing clear-
     
 “You lazy one, know this is exam time”
Rough and curt was her angry tirade. 
“Again you can’t play a dumb mime”
Her words made my afternoon reverie suddenly fade
      

I saw my open book sneering at me
And my uncovered syllabus, a vast sea
